One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Thank you, God of the Ocean, for allowing us to meet again~"

"With this wine, I testify to my unwavering love and devotion to you!"

"Hey, cook, another beautiful woman has come over there!"

For some reason, Zoro, who was annoyed by Sanji's smug look, pointed towards the door.

A mature and elegant woman in a bright red evening gown walked into the Barati restaurant with the trembling Herbodi.

"!!!"

In an instant, Sanji's heart-shaped eyes widened as if they were about to jump out.

"Excuse me, Miss Nami."

He first apologized politely, then gracefully took two steps back. Suddenly, with a whirlwind kick, he ran to Herbodi's side and said the exact same thing to the mature woman.

Sanji...

I love every beautiful woman equally!

"Pfft! So incredibly loyal!!!"

Zoro burst out laughing upon seeing the amusing scene.

Nami, who was left behind, didn't seem to care. She figured she was getting a free glass of sparkling wine, so she wasn't losing out.

Red and the others smiled knowingly, not surprised by Sanji's personality.

The group went to the table they had used on the first day and took their seats.

This table near the door is considered the Straw Hat crew's exclusive seating.

No one else dared to sit here except them.

Even if a new customer accidentally sits here, someone in the know will immediately come and drag them away.

By this time, the round table was piled high with various dishes, like a small mountain.

As a result, Paddy has been scolded by Zeff quite a bit these past few days...

The arrival of the Straw Hat crew not only caused a sharp decrease in the number of diners at the restaurant, but in just a few days, the dishes they ate had already exceeded 1000 million Berries in market value!

If the Straw Hat crew doesn't leave immediately...

They're going to lose a fortune on this deal!

the other side.

Although her female companion was being harassed by Sanji, that pervert, Hepburn was afraid of Luffy, so she didn't make a scene in the restaurant like in the original story. Instead, she endured it all and just wanted to finish her meal in peace.

Unfortunately……

He was destined to face this calamity today!

With a loud bang!

Before all the food Hepbodi had ordered could be served, the door to Baratie was suddenly pushed open by a disheveled navy man with a bloodied head.

"Captain Herbadi! Something terrible has happened!!!"

"The Krieg Pirates' executive member, Gin, whom we captured before... he escaped!!!"

"How is that possible!?"

Just as Hebodi was regaining his composure and bragging to his female companion, his expression suddenly changed.

He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

"Tell me what happened!?"

"I……"

The wounded navy officer was about to speak when...

boom! ! !

With a sudden flash of light, the naval soldier who was giving a report stared in astonishment as he was struck by a lead bullet and collapsed to the ground.

"scare!"

Usopp, who was sitting by the door, trembled in fright at the sudden turn of events.

The other members of the Straw Hat crew also stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door.

A disheveled man wearing a striped headscarf swayed into the restaurant and plopped down in a chair.

It was none other than the demon Akin that the naval soldier had just mentioned!

The following plot is not significantly different from the original timeline.

Hungry Akin unfortunately ran into Paddy, who thought money was everything, and threatened him with his musket to get food.

Paddy, who wasn't even afraid of Luffy, naturally wouldn't give Gin a friendly look. After learning that Gin couldn't pay, he delivered a heavy blow, nearly killing Gin, and threw him out of the restaurant.

Such brutality terrified Herbodi so much that he dared not stay in the restaurant and slunk away.

The Straw Hat crew remained seated, making no move whatsoever, simply eating their meal quietly, treating it as a good show.

Suddenly, Zoro's brows furrowed.

"Hey, Crimson..."

He called out "Red!" and then pointed.

"what happened?"

Following Zoro's gaze, Akane saw Sanji carrying a bowl of fried rice, heading towards the deck where Gin had been thrown.

Upon seeing this, he instantly grinned.

Knowing what would happen next, Crimson sighed softly:

"It seems our chef is exceptionally gentle."

"Hmph~" Zoro frowned and made a disdainful sound from his nose, "I just hope his good intentions won't be taken for granted."

"The Krieg Pirates have always been known throughout the seas for their treacherous and cunning nature!"

In the past, Zoro certainly wouldn't have cared about what Sanji did.

But now that he knows Sanji is definitely going to join the crew, he naturally has some reservations.

Offering kindness to strangers can easily backfire and harm yourself and those around you.

However, Crimson didn't seem to have much of an opinion on this, and instead joked:

"What does it matter? Isn't a cook's job to make sure everyone has enough to eat?"

"Everyone has their own flaws, and that's precisely why we've come together, isn't it?"

As a transmigrator, Red knew Sanji's, and even the shortcomings of every member of the Straw Hat crew, inside and out.

For example, Luffy often puts his crew in dangerous situations because of his impulsiveness or playfulness;

Zoro's world-class terrible sense of direction will cause him to lose his way at crucial moments;

Nami's thirst for money will force the team to take on some unnecessary work;

Usopp's cowardice and weakness make him unable to handle direct combat;

Even his own crimson self...

Although he is a transmigrator who is familiar with the plot and has a cheat code, before transmigrating, he was just an ordinary college student.

Since setting sail, Crimson seems to have everything under control, but he is also well aware of his limited abilities.

One day, the world will become a stranger to him.

So in order to avoid being caught off guard when that day comes, he needs to make good use of the Pokémon world to make the Straw Hat crew as strong as possible!

Actually, not letting people go hungry isn't Sanji's biggest flaw.

His real flaw was his chivalrous spirit of never kicking women!

However, it is precisely because everyone has things they cannot do, and everyone has things that only they can do...

That's why they became partners, weathering storms together and achieving success together!

"...That's true."

After hearing Red's explanation, Zoro fell silent, and his initial dissatisfaction with Sanji's behavior dissipated.

After a moment, he suddenly put his hands behind his head with a relieved expression and smiled contentedly:

"As expected, the first mate was very thoughtful~ Looks like I'll just have to stick to being a combatant from now on!"

"Combatants alone are not enough."

Crimson raised her glass, gesturing an invitation towards him, and added with a smile:

"Our team is just starting out, so if any of our younger colleagues need help in the future, you'll have to lend a hand!"

"Zoro's babysitter!"

Zoro frowned, looking puzzled. "What kind of strange title is that?"

Despite saying that, he still picked up his wine glass and clinked it lightly with the crimson glass.

Clang!

The crisp echo slowly dissipated in the noisy restaurant.

Chapter 63 Sanji Joins the Party

Zoro has no idea what will happen in the future.

Just as he could never have known that the fried rice Sanji made for Gin would become the key to leading Hawkeye to Baratie.

At Red's suggestion, none of the Straw Hat crew paid any attention to Sanji and Gin's contact.

What happened next was not much different from the original story.

After eating his fill, Gin knelt down to thank Sanji with deep gratitude, then boarded a small boat and left Baratie.

Everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
